joy us

Joy to this tiny world
and joy to its believers,
however so brief
Peace on this day
to all the anxious creatures
who live in dying places
Greetings to the lonely
adrift in holiday bustle –
strangers might look your way
Comfort to we sheep –
riders of a rail-car existence
displaying love through plastic-giving
Pity to the poor,
brighten our suburban experience –
accept canned goods and toys
(then disappear)
Good luck to the Lord
in the manger ignored
like an old man on Christmas Day
so long suit

Goodbye pompous officious arrogant dismissive in-thinking betrayer – responsible for the biggest debacle in the history of U.S. military strategy. Good riddance to a corporate ghoul who showed more regard for Halliburton than his troops.
Should have stopped with Afghanistan and done the job right.

what do you get when
everyone becomes
desensitized

at certain levels of being
video game killing
is still murder
leave me alone on Christmas

Like in those glass-sided beehives,
the poor and dying press
against the window of my mind.
I cover the glass with candy canes
and santas.
the Delight
December 6, 2006
in a place
which is not really
a space but
a time
and in that time
which is not really
a time but
a moment
and in that moment
which never
passes…
lives delight

no one wants to say
a soldier died in vain
but until there are no soldiers
we have all died in vain
One week later…

Clockwise
I turn the can
of Planters Mixed Nuts
peering into a greasy
kaleidoscope –
not a cashew
to be found
only Jordans,
Filberts, and Peas
tumbling
in my disdain.
They are all
that remain
of the feast.
the long journey

the sky rests
upon the earth
in a pond
